?????? I already update version but still wont open.. I want to save my photo from my iphone to transfer to my mac iphoto to save in my flash drive but nothing help..
deaflori,
your “signature” states that you have a 13-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed; this is an unlikely combination. If this is your model MacBook Pro, which version of OS X is currently installed on it?

I am a new user on a mac. I was given a mac to use for work and I need to install Ruby, Ruby on Rails. The Ruby install instructions said to install Xcode first.
The mac os x is 10.6.8. I had a problem trying to install xcode because it said the operatin system version was not compatible .. Then I found xcode version 4.2 but it then said "Xcode Install Assistant can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7 or later is required."The message kind of says it all. It needs a more current version of the OS to install. Mavericks is free if your machine meets the specs for it.

Aperture can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" because Mac OS X version 10.10 or later is required.
Hi
I have two MacBookPro, and Installed Yosemite to the other of them.
Since my Mac stopped working well, I do not attend to install Yosemite to the other Mac, but I keep my old Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63).
So here is the problem:
"Aperture can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because Mac OS X version 10.10 or later is required."
What is the workaround for this problem?
Thanks!

AnnI found this (see below) it looks like your @Léonie solution is the answer to the problem.

@léonie
Thanks for your help with this. I've downloaded the latest RAW support updates supported on my machine - V4.09 that seems to contain all of the RAW formats for previous updated including V4.06, which includes the NEX 3N, my camera. After a short while (there seemed to be some sort of background processing ging on in Aperture) it started to allow my NEX 3N photos to be viewed. Some of the thumbnails were corrupted, but if I made a slight edit in each of these files, the thumbnails updated and all was well.
Prior to this, I raised a call with Apple, because the inability to reinstall software from the App Store that I've purchased from in App Store to a machine that supports OSX 10.7.5 and no later strikes me as a problem. I need to know that if my Time Machine backup fails and I need to reinstall, I've got somewhere I can go.
The support people at Apple were very helpful, and it feels like they recognise this as a problem, and are working to resolve it behind the scenes. The App Store will not allow me to download the last version that works on my machine at the moment, but it sounds like Apple is thinking about how to do this. In the meantime, they are shipping me a copy of Aperture 3.0 on CD, and sending me a registration code. This will solve my immediate problem.
This does make me wary about using the App Store for purchases in the future. I don't upgrade my hardware that frequently - I have no real need to as it just keeps working - and so not having physical copies of installation media for when the applications stop supporting my OS is a worry. On the face of it, maintaining prior versions of the software for older machines to download from the App Store seems like a reasonable solution, but they are not there yet, and there is no real commitment for them to do this. Anyone who doesn't back up their Apps in Time Machine (probably the majority of users) could loose them altogether when Apple moves on, and cuts app support for older OS versions.
Thanks to @léonie and @Frank Cagianno for your help.

iPhoto 9.3 requires OS X 10.7.4 now. You can use your actual version of iPhoto or upgrade to Lion (or wait to Mountain Lion)

Hello,
I want to buy logic pro x and i recieve this message: Logic Pro X can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later is required. what i need to do? thanks!!Given you apparently are looking for a different answer to the completely obvious one....
You can;
1) Undress.. stand on one leg, wear a very silly hat... whistle "Dixie" and pray to the Gods of Apple that they will somehow magically install LPX for you...
2) Spend your days in the studio wondering what "Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later is required" actually means... and make up a song in your head baed on the resulting thoughts... Of course, you won't be able to actually record it but maybe thats not such a bad thing for the rest of the world..
3) You could run out to the nearest Apple Store.. spend a small fortune on a new Mac that has "Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later" already installed and use that to install LPX on.. even though your current Mac may be perfectly capable of running LPX.. if only you actually followed the advice given by Blueberry... and did what the error meassage you orginally received, told you to do...
4) You could simply give up on music entirely.... and spend the rsst of your life.. meditating quietly in a corner.... waiting on the world to do everything for you....
Seriously though...............
There comes a point when it's really hard to take such a question seriously when the answer is there, right in front of you...plain as day...
A) Upgrade your OS X version and then install LPX
or...
B) Do not upgrade your OS X version and do not install LPX.. Do not pass Go.. Do not collect/spend $200......
Pretty simple really! -

Pages can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required.
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)The version of Pages, Numbers & Keynote available in the Mac App Store do require Lion or Mountain Lion but you could get a retail box of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon.com or eBay.

can't download xcode on mac says: Xcode can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.4 or later is required.
You need to upgrade your operating system; call 1-800-MY-APPLE, ask for an OS X Lion download code. It will be $29 or so.

i cant installing iphoto .. it`s says iPhoto can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later is required. and mine is 10.6.8 ... what can i do ?
You have two possibilities:
1. Keep Snow Leopard and your actual iPhoto.
2. Upgrade OS X.
If you want to upgrade OS X to get the most recent iPhoto, you can upgrade to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. We are going to choose the most recent, Mountain Lion.
First, check if your Mac is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's supported, make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. The installer will download and it will appear when the download finishes, so you have to follow the steps to upgrade OS X. See if your programs are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If your Mac isn't compatible, see if you can run OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you can run Lion, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
error message once i attempt to install iBook Author on my Mac Pro
Do you know which MacBook Pro you have?
The thing is, you have OS 10.6.8, but you need at least 10.7.4 - The latest version is 10.8.2. You can go to the App Store and ugrade to 10.8 - It's called Mountain Lion and then iBooks Author should install fine. -
my osx version is 10.8.2. i was buying the facetime app for my mac. i got this error -"FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of OS X is too new." so please help me out of this funny situation.

FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of Mac OS X is too new. I removed all traces of FaceTime and still not able to install from App store. New to macbook pro with Lion.any help with this would be greaty appreciated.
FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

I have a macbook pro with snow leopard on it. I am giving it away to a family members, but would like to erase the disk before giving it away. When I put my snow leopard dvd in, and click "install", I get a screen asking me to select the hard drive to install on. When I click the only one listed: "Macintosh HD", I get the message:
Mac OS X cannot be installed on "Macintosh HD", because this disk cannot be used to start your computer
If I try to boot from the dvd, my mac just hangs on the gray screen that shows the apple logo. Basically I put the dvd in, shut down the computer, when I turn it on, I hold the "C" key, and it just hangs.
How should I go about erasing everything on the computer, and re-installing the OS, I just want it to look like it did when it came from the factory. Any help would be much appreciated.
Note: I lost my original install dvd, so I called Apple and asked for a replacement, they charged me $20 and sent the Snow Leopard disk that I am using as my replacement.
Thanks.It's possible you got a disk from Apple you can't use. What you should have gotten were gray disks based on the Mac's serial number so you would get disks which were identical to the ones it came with.
If the disk you received has a picture of a Snow Leopard on it, then they sent you a 10.6.3 retail disk, which will not have any of the bundled iLife apps on it.
Much more important is the point release. If your Mac originally came with 10.6.4 or some later point release of Snow Leopard, then 10.6.3 will not install on that Mac. The necessary hardware drivers are not on the retail disk.
